💥 Ross Ulbricht unexpectedly receives 31 million USD in BTC – Controversial origins
A donation worth 31 million USD in Bitcoin was sent to Ross Ulbricht – the founder of the Silk Road black market, after being granted clemency in January.
🔍 According to Chainalysis and an independent investigation by ZachXBT, this amount of BTC can be traced back to major sellers on Alphabay – another famous black market that has been shut down.
💬 ZachXBT describes: "Legal, but not from a legal source." The sender used multiple mixers and divided the funds to cover their tracks.
🤔 The motive behind it remains a mystery: gratitude, empathy, or the consequence of 'survivor's guilt'?
📌 Regardless, this donation is raising many controversies surrounding the past of Silk Road and Trump’s clemency policy.
